Planet Mode is a bitch. I restart levels god knows how many times just to try and get a top 10 score because in order to get a high score you need to take too many god damn risks. It's finally paid off though, woo:

Lave, Rank 2 - 9,992,570
Coventina, Rank 8 - 12,938,050
Nemain, Rank 2 - 14,906,010
Taranis, Rank 2 - 19,613,150
Segomo, Rank 8 - 19,365,795


Now on to Arcade at last. I'm probably going to hate myself for starting Arcade.

Thats weird, because unlike the 360, the Sixaxis does send a signal through the cable. That is why I can hook the controller up and play on my computer. Are you sure you desynched while connected?

Positive. It's happened 2 or 3 times on me with the cable connected.

Wow - I just obliterated my old score - 53mil in arcade mode. I used that tip for the stage 2/4 boss & got inside the ring when he closed up. Tore him up MUCH quicker.

EDIT: I actually died fighting the final boss. Couldn't quite figure out what was going on - I had destroyed three of those metal-ring-things that come up from the planet.

, I managed to make it to Elite Mode in Arcade. Needless to say I didn't make it past the second planet. Hell, did I even make it to the second planet? Those damned centipedes took half my lives because they're so damned fast. I used a asston of boost and they still manage to eat me alive. I guess my reflexes were a split second too slow.

I think it's time for me to take a break from this game for a bit. Sat in front of the television today for about 5 hours playing the damn game. I'll have to settle with 164m. Can't believe someone managed to get 600m+.


In case anyone was wondering lives and bombs do not cap at 9 as I've had as high as 15. As for mutlipliers the highest I've seen is x10.

If I manage to think of any more tips I've left out I'll add them. I had remembered some while I was playing but now I've since forgotten them. May also make some amendments to my previous tips to go more in depth.

oh yea speaking of the final boss, do those missiles that he shots out do anything? It looks like they shoot inwards and they don't seem to come near me. I'm still cautious, but I don't think I've ever had to shoot any missiles

When you destroy the five red targets via Weapons, Boost, or Bomb, the object will begin sending missles inward towards the planet core. The planet core itself is the boss. It takes approximately three of those platforms that rise to orbit on your level for the boss to be destroyed.

While it's shooting missles just let the asteroids fall around you and take them out with Rock Crusher while making sure not to get hit. Shouldn't be too hard and if you really need to, boost out of it. Though if you're constantly moving you shouldn't have a problem getting out of the ring of asteroids that falls around you before they hit the ground.

EDIT: I should add that if you don't take down that large thing that the planet sends up to orbit with you quick enough it WILL begin to shoot missles AT you. Though if it's entirely dead with all the red hit boxes gone, then it will shoot at the planet and not you.

well I finally bit and bought the game. As expected the game is virtually unplayable wireless for me due to the desyncs. In a game like this where every second is life and death. ing Sony.....

Methinks you need to get a replacement system. From the way you talk about your desyncing problems it's like yours desyncs every couple minutes.

My controller's only desync'd 4 or 5 times in my 96% or so run of ridge racer 7, I don't think it's ever desync'd in Motorstorm, once or twice in Resistance, and once in Ninja Gaiden Sigma so far. In SSHD just the two times since I started playing. Just about a total of 10 or so times in half a year of ownership

It happens like once an hour on avg.
On most games like ffxii, marvel ultimate alliance, etc. I'm fine with it doing that, but in this game where mistakes are detrimental, it really sucks. With November approaching I think you may be right and I should try my luck with a warranty replacement before it passes one year. I wonder if i'll need to send in my HD.... It would suck to lose all my saves and games i've d/led.

on another note, this game is really fun, I just play it with the short ass usb cable attached.

I just can't seem to break through on Super Stardust. I've only seen a 6X multiplier once and just seem to hit my bomb button milliseconds before I blow up.

I've struggled into the 4th planet, but it's stlll quite a struggle for me.

I do love the game though... no doubt about that.

So, I completed Lave without dying and still only have the 957th best score on the leaderboard. I really need to work on using boost more, it would seem. My multiplier was only up to 6X at that point. Still, it's nice to be in the top 4% of the game scores.

i have this game for gameshare looking for lemmings and paypal

broke 100m in arcade mode! That was a week or two ago though lol

i give up, all my tries of getting only round 40 mil and record 54 mil does not give me the satisfaction i so desperately crave, and it takes up all my errand time. I think ill end up playing it again soon though :( so addictive

Wow, the high score for this game is over 1 billion. I wonder how long that took to accomplish.

Jeeze a billion...

BTW Frisky, almost caught your scores after 1 round of play.
I'll beat them tomorrow, piece of cake.

How the hell can you get 10 million in one round? The most I can get is just under 400k.

Wait... define a round.

I actually meant one gaming session. Played, died, stopped.

What is a round though? I want to get the terminology.

The end of rounds are when you see how long you took to finish that round, multiplyers, your score for the round, and then your total score so far.
